Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a Firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 1, 2010 by a State Workforce Agency on behalf of
workers of Analog Devices, Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts
(Analog Devices, Inc.). Workers at the subject firm are engaged
in activities related to the production of integrated circuits
(ICs). The workers are not separately identifiable.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from EDA,
Inc. and NSTAR Global Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Analog Devices,
Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts who are engaged in employment
related to the production of integrated circuits meet the
criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of integrated circuits by Analog Devices,
Inc. have decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with integrated circuits
produced by Analog Devices, Inc. have increased. Specifically,
the Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject firm's
major declining customers regarding their purchases of
integrated circuits during the relevant period. The survey
revealed increased customer reliance on imported integrated
circuits.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of integrated circuits by customers of
Analog Devices, Inc. contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Analog
Devices, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Analog Devices, Inc.,
Cambridge, Massachusetts including on-site leased workers from
EDA, Inc. and NSTAR Global Services who are engaged in
activities related to the production of integrated circuits meet
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:


"All workers of Analog Devices, Inc., Cambridge,
Massachusetts including on-site leased workers from EDA,
Inc. and NSTAR Global Services, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 1,
2009, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 10th day of September, 2010.
